Daniel Last Appeared As Cane Ashby On The Young And The Restless
Daniel Goddard has made a significant comeback to the soap opera scene, marking his first appearance since 2019 on The Young and the Restless.
He has now appeared in Port Charles as Professor Henry Dalton, an environmental physics instructor who is currently facing scrutiny on the ABC soap. Professor Dalton is known for his interest in his younger female students, a bit smarmy, but interesting role.
It had been a few years of acting drought for Cane Ashby’s former portrayer on the CBS soap. In a recent post on social media, Goddard expressed his feelings about this role and shared his gratitude.
Goddard Is Grateful, Oh So Grateful
Goddard was overwhelmed with gratitude; in a recent video message shared on X, previously known as Twitter, he expressed his thanks for the opportunity to be part of the “historic show.” Goddard stated, “Thank you, Frank Valentini, for allowing me to join this historic show-I also want to thank Mark Teschner for having faith in me.
And a huge thank you to all the fans, cast, and crew who have embraced me warmly and shown me nothing but love.
I do this for you, and you have no idea how much it means to me;” but there was more to his message; Goddard had additional insights to share in his video. The soap star opened up about the challenges of his role-while hanging out on set, waiting to shoot his scene, he felt compelled to share something with his fans.
Goddard’s Message To His Fans And Their Response
“It just hit me… I’m back on set, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful,” Goddard expressed-he glanced around as the crew was actively filming. He wrapped up his message by reiterating, “I’m so grateful;” as shown in the video mentioned above, he couldn’t stop smiling.
It seemed like Goddard was in disbelief over his good fortune-his message was brief and straightforward, yet impactful; Goddard is thrilled to be back in the world of soaps.
Meanwhile, his fans showed their support in the comments section; one user commented, “It’s evident, bro!!” and also made a suggestion, saying, “Join State Of Mind podcast with Maurice Benard, please!” “ We love you and are so excited to see you on our screens again!” and other fans expressed their joy at seeing Goddard return, even if he was portraying a controversial role.
More Fan Feedback
“I’ve been a fan of yours since Beastmaster, and I’m thrilled yet a bit saddened that you’re portraying a creep,” one fan humorously remarked, adding, “Enjoy that though!” Some fans were eager to know more about Goddard’s earlier role as Cane on Y&R. One fan inquired, “Will you also reprise your role as Cane, and is Billy Flynn your son? I hope you can switch back and forth like Wally Kurth does- Kurth plays Ned Quartermaine on GH and Justin Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives. Days of Our Lives alum Billy Flynn made his debut as Aristotle Dumas aka NuCane Ashby on Y&R this week; what do you think about Goddard’s video message?
